20,000

wearing: bcbg dress, zara sandals

on my way back home from new york i received an e-mail from instagram. it informed me that i have been listed as a suggested user. in case you started to think this was a myth, lo and behold this list actually exists and somehow i managed to get noticed and find myself among the few lucky users to be on it. we suspected that the following would grow but would never imagine that in just a short week that number would more than tripple. this good news came along amidst some other drama happening in the blogosphere, which i now learned to just simply brush off. as a result, what was supposed to be a much celebrated time ended up shrouded with stress. we decided to change all that and bought some shiny balloons to celebrate. if giant, silver numbers weren’t enough, during our shoot, people actually thought i was celebrating my 20th birthday (the store does not indeed sell letter balloons). i’ll take it. in the end, what an amazing exercise of focusing on the positive. 20,000 is a huge number and i am thankful for the very last one of you who choose to follow all of our adventures. we are so lucky to be able to do the work that we do, and none of that would ever be possible without you guys. so as much as i would love to give all of you a big hug and throw a party to match the size of those balloons, for now the smiles will have to do. thank you again and always. xoxo
